review 1: I get the point of this book, but it kind of sucked the fun out of baseball. Like a lot of little league kids, Pete struck out, missed the ball, got out, etc. There is a moral here that Pete had fun anyway, but the whole book was kind of a reminder of the down side of baseball. I'd rather the book have included both the lows and the highs. It was kind of a downer having a whole book say "but that's OK, Pete had fun".
review 2: This is an "I Can Read - My First Reader" for ages 4 - 8. It has basic language, word repetition, and whimsical illustrations."Here comes Pete the Cat.Pete has a mitt.He has a bat and ball.What will Pete do today?Pete will play baseball!"I have a 6-year-old son who isn't very athletic so it was nice that Pete the Cat wasn't very good at ... moreplaying baseball. His first time at bat he strikes out, he went to catch a fly ball and dropped it, when he did catch a ball he threw it too far and when he has a chance to run to home plate he's out. But he's not sad because he did his best. less
